The English mystical tradition, 1961:p. 67 (The cloud of unknowing: a person usually known, from the title of his principal and most characteristic work, as the author of The cloud of unknowing, but three other pieces, two of them being translations, are certainly his, and three other short treatises may confidently be attributed to him by reason of similarity of subject matter, style, language, and of their frequent association in manuscript collections: these are The book of privy counselling, The epistle of prayer, The Epistle of discretion, the two translations of Denis Hid divinity and Benjamin minor, and the paraphrase of two sermons of St Bernard entitled Of discerning of spirits)

found: Clark, J.P.H. The cloud of unknowing, 1995-1996:v. 1, p. 1-10 (discusses the likelihood of the six associated treatises being by the person who wrote The cloud of unknowing; all 7 works appear together in Ms. British Library Harley 674, but not all appear together elsewhere; Clark considers Benjamin minor and Of discerning of spirits least likely to be by the author of the Cloud)
